Beer With Geeks

Frank and Tim both showed up in green. Neither planned it. They discuss the trailer for the upcoming Green Lantern TV series Lanterns (2026). Cheers! Beers of the Week Sam Adams Winter Lager Two Pitchers Nordic Jam

Frank and Tim grab a couple of citrus wheat ales and head to the theater for Supergirl , the DCU's next step after Superman . The verdict: liked it, didn't love it — an earnest, surprisingly un-cynical B-movie with a great cast, gorgeous practical aliens, and a message clearly aimed at kids it's frankly too dark to show them. Along the way: the Casablanca clue, Lobo done right, and a genuinely unh...

Frank and Tim return to the galaxy far, far away to talk through The Mandalorian and Grogu , a Star Wars movie that knows exactly what it is: a fun, self-contained, Saturday-morning adventure with space western vibes, Indiana Jones structure, James Bond mission energy, and some very mobile Hutts. Cheers! Beers of the Week Saison Dupont Belgian Farmhouse Ale Stoneface Brewing Sunday Sauce Italian P...

Frank and Tim crack open some drinks and attempt the noble, impossible task of ranking sci-fi franchises without accidentally starting six different side conversations. Star Wars and Star Trek go straight into S-tier, Dune gets surprisingly close to sacred-text status, and Tim is reminded that he watched Tron: Legacy for the podcast nine years ago and fully forgot. Beers of the Week Poppi Orange P...

Tim and Frank saddle up for a long-overdue trip into the world of Firefly , sparked by the news that an animated continuation may be on the way with Nathan Fillion and the original cast involved. Time for the return of Hit Me With Your Best Shot . Cheers! Beers of the Week Shacksbury Classic Dry Cider Poppi Cherry Limeade Prebiotic Soda

Frank and Tim are gushing about Maul: Shadow Lord — and somehow neither of them used to even like Maul. They get into why this one is really about "bad guys and worse guys". Cheers! Beers of the Week Corona Extra Buttonwoods Brewery Czech Amber Lager

Tim and Frank conduct a very serious, very scientific galactic performance review. They grade the Kennedy era across franchise stewardship, film strategy, Disney+ execution, creative risk, talent management, fan trust, event-level pop culture impact, and long-term legacy. Cheers!

Tim and Frank react to the latest superhero trailers, including Spider-Man: Brand New Day , Lanterns , and Supergirl . Cheers! Beers of the Week Sam Adams Breakaway Blonde Olipop Cherry Cola

Frank, Tim, and returning guest Vactor crack open some very different drinks and dive into DC K.O., DC’s latest big event comic. They dig into Superman as the emotional center of the event, whether the story had more substance than people gave it credit for, how the tie-ins held up, and whether this was just a flashy event or something more lasting. Beers of the Week Bero Kingston Golden Pils Newp...

Tim and Frank dive into Marvel’s Wonder Man : a surprisingly heartfelt, sharply written love letter to acting, movie-making, and finding yourself in the chaos of Hollywood. This show made Tim rethink his hate for Iron Man 3. Yes, really. Cheers! Beers of the Week Stoneface Sunday Sauce Italian Style Pils Stormalong Farm Stand Unfiltered Cider

Tim and Frank return to the cantina to talk space macaroons, universal dessert laws, and why you should watch The Mandalorian & Grogu trailer twice. Cheers! Beers of the Week Stoneface Sunday Sauce Italian Style Pils Champlain Orchards Kingston Dry Cider

Frank and Tim are feeling the Doom. Doctor Doom, that is. They walk through the four teasers that have dropped so far for Avengers: Doomsday and try to make sense of it all. Cheers! Beers of the Week Sam Adams Winter Lager Sam Adams Flannel Fest

Tim and Frank ring in 2026 with a thoughtful discussion about movies that get split into parts. Is it ever worth it? From Wicked to The Hobbit to Dune and beyond, the geeks debate when splitting a story works, when it absolutely doesn’t, and whether any of it is really about art in the first place. Cheers! Beers of the Week Sam Adams Flannel Fest Sam Adams Old Fezziwig Ale

Frank podcasts from bed after surgery, so Tim drinks for two while the guys compare recovery teas and questionable hot-cocoa experiments. They swap their favorite new-to-them watches of the year, from the surreal dystopia of The Lobster to del Toro’s richly detailed Frankenstein, plus sci-fi obsessions with Pluribus and Alien: Earth. Hive minds, film clubs, and xenomorphs all make an appearance. C...

Frank is joined by Sylvie for a dive into Star Wars: Andor from the perspective of a casual fan who suddenly finds herself all-in on the Rebellion. Why the show works without Jedi or lightsabers, how its politics feel uncomfortably current, and what makes characters like Dedra, Cyril, and Mon Mothma so magnetic. Watching Rogue One after Andor , the joy of discovering the connections in reverse, an...

Tim and Frank map the split between things you use and things you just display. Physical media and toys that invite play vs digital files and NFTs that create fake scarcity. Collecting has shifted. Minimalist “millennial beige” homes and how that vibe bleeds into hobby culture. Funko’s oversupply and debt stories. Expensive replicas that stop being toys once the price climbs. LEGO scale display pi...

Tim and Frank ask a simple question: when does nostalgia stop being nostalgia and become “just the air we breathe”? Along the way they compare reboots, sequels, adaptations, and period pieces, and test a few rules of thumb for spotting the difference. Cheers!
